I can never tell what they'll do if their switch is turned on.

I'm always concerned that I'll tweak something the wrong way and overload a fuse or something...

They have a real problem with flies in certain places, so you will have to wear a hat with corks on them to keep them off your face.
Yeah NZ is really expensive, hopefully house prices will come down.
Yeah I might end up going over there some stage.
hey you should give NZ a look though, I did some posts in here ages ago

We don't have any snakes, but we have a flightless bat. All our native birds are hopeless at defending themselves because there orignally no prepators in New Zealand.
We also have a dinosaur I think, well close
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatara
We also bet the wright brothers in the learning to fly

That might tickle your fancy |
Yes, I'm fascinated by the tuatara!! The flightless bat sounds cool too. Do you also have some kind of large fruit bat like a flying fox?
The thing that bothers me is that not only are there no native snakes, and you cannot import snakes to keep as pets because they could escape and endanger the local wildlife (good reason!). And it gets cold.
Also, I ran into Mr. Aussie yesterday and we quickly sorted out the miscommunication. He never meant to reject me or anything like that (see next post). So I'm more level-headed now. Before, I was getting a little drastic, thinking, "Phukket, I should just up and leave the country!" etc etc blah blah blah.
Things are better now.  Who knows, I may even get a chance to visit Australia before too long! (Hey, I could possibly work in a trip to NZ too!)

Update # 3
It turned out to be a very simple miscommunication. He never meant to communicate that he was rejecting me. If anything, things seem to be getting better!
Detailed Version
You see, I think he basically forgot about my "Just keep me informed" thing, as it happened very early in the morning when he was a bit distracted, getting ready for work and stressing over his job. Apparently, he then had a very rough week at work and didn't even get paid when he was supposed to.
So he called on Friday to apologize for not calling me during the week. But he was extremely depressed, and his phone messages are as confusing and disorganized as mine are, so the message made it sound like he was rejecting me. Shortly after he left that message, he lost his phone (I believe this story - I have observed how extremely disorganized and prone to losing things we both are).
I was sad, but I had fun hanging out with my neighbors and the new friend who was visiting from another city. A good time was had by all except my dog. He escaped and got hit by a car. On the way to the vet's office, my car ran out of gas on the highway. My friend and I had to run to the nearest gas station, buy a gas can and 2 gallons of gas, etc. - all while my dog lay bleeding in the hot car on the highway shoulder.
The dog is OK - he just got a few scrapes and a bruised lung. He's back home now, recovering.
After I dropped off my friend, I realized I wasn't far from Mr. Aussie's favorite bar, so I stopped by, thinking that if he was there, I'd just ask what was going on, be nice about it all, and then move on.
He was there and he was incredibly happy to see me because he had had such a hard week and bad weekend. So we spent the rest of the day hanging out in the city and talking.
I think this brought us a lot closer. I think he was sort of amused by the idea that I thought he had rejected me, and he also acted like he felt like an idiot for leaving such a confusing and misleading phone message and all that. But that's in the past now. I have reason to believe that he has no plans to reject me, and if he did, he would be more direct about it.
Epilogue
So I've got a good thing going on!!
And thank you to all who kindly offered support and in-put - it was all helpful and educational for me, even though everything turned out OK.

Yeah, stories of this nature are not well-suited to forum posts.
I made an attempt to summarize the basic story just in case anyone was curious.

I'm glad for you.
perhaps working out some communication things in advance would be useful to you as the relationship continues. . . just a thought. |

Hey congrats Kim, yes men are very tricky to understand, so I'm glad we educated you. 
I think the bat is the only native mamal we have. We don't have snakes but we have giant earth worms. |
